Public bug reported: Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed
Description: I'm using dapper 20060501 totem-xine 1.4.0-0ubuntu5 I have some videos on my desktop in ogg format. I created a playlist of them in totem and saved this playlist to the desktop. When I close totem and click on the playlist on my desktop I'm unable to play the videos. I'm getting this error: Totem could not play 'file:///home/pascal/transparancy.ogg'. The specified movie could not be found. This error indicates that totem looks in /home/pascal while it should look in /home/pascal/Desktop. I'm using totem-xine but I have the same error with totem-gstreamer too. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a few videos (e.g. mpg or ogg from http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/) and save them on the desktop (in my case /home/pascal/Desktop). 2. Open these videos with totem and create a playlist of them. 3. Save the playlist on the desktop. 4. Close totem. 5. Click the playlist on the desktop. -- Totem playlists look for files in home directory instead of playlist directory https://launchpad.net/bugs/42333 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
